Enjoy your newfound freedom from entitled adults.””I sold my house to get rid of a freeloading, lazy brother, and my siblings blamed me for making him homeless. He was 59. Yet they wouldn’t take him in. Some people will take advantage of you rather than standing on their own two feet.””These people are adults. They have made it clear that you are not their father, presumably meaning that you can not tell them what to do. Not only have they been living in your house rent-free, but they haven’t done their share of the housework, expecting you to do it or pay for it. However, since you are indeed not their father, you don’t owe them anything.
You were generous to let them live in your house for over a year, and very generous to give them money to start their independent life. Now they will have to take responsibility for their own finances and housekeeping – or experience homelessness and realize that they indeed have to take responsibility.”Blended families come with their own set of challenges, and while many find ways to navigate them successfully, others find that separation is the only viable path to happines.
